Need to replace the tires on my 2002 Tracker/Vitara soon. The original tire size is 215/70/R15.
Now I want to get a set of AT tires. But there are non in that size.
I could either go with:
- 215/75R15
- 225/70R15
AT tires are available in both sizes. Which size is the better choice? In both sizes the speedometer will be off a little. But not so much as it would be a concern with me.
Would the 225 cause trouble because it is wider by 1cm? Rubbing somewhere when the steering wheel is turned all the way?

I have a 1998 Sidekick sport and it has the 225's on it and I do not have any turning issues. One thing to consider is the 215's have less surface friction and less weight which will usually give you better fuel milage.
